do news feeds help in increasing traffic to my website?

Free2World,

Welcome to Webamsterworld.

News Feeds are great for stickyness and professionalism of a site.

We have been using them for a number of years, and it gives us an edge over the competition and in turn results in conversions.

I doubt anyone comes to our site purely to read news, they are qualified visitors looking to make a purchase, and the news adds that extra edge.

However newsfeeds actually take the visitor away from the site, so thats an angle you have to look at.

Also I would say try and NOT go for a "FREE news powered by?" type of service, get a bespoke white label type solution if possible.

"news feeds" at Google :) will help.

We try and NOT drop too many urls around here, encourages bad behaviour.

Good luck
